文摘Using the coupled coordination degree model,DEA coupled coordination efficiency model,and spatial autocorrelation model,this study explored the dynamic coupled coordination relationship and spatial correlation between the ice-snow tourism network attention and tourism industry development in 31 Chinese provinces and proposed suggestions pertaining to development.Our findings showed that(1)most provinces have not yet achieved excellent coordinated development between the two systems,and the coupled coordination efficiency is low.Each province's coupled coordination degree and coordination efficiency exhibited a small increase.(2)Spatial differences in the coupled coordination level and coordination efficiency of the two systems in each province were more evident.In seven provinces,including Heilongjiang,tourism industry development demonstrated a relatively high utilization rate and enhanced ice-snow tourism network attention.(3)The rankings of the coupled coordination degree and coordination efficiency of the two systems in each province remained relatively stable at the upper and lower ends,with large changes in the central provinces.The coupled coordination efficiency of Heilongjiang,Beijing,Jilin,and Shanghai remained at the top of the list steadily,whereas Xizang,Anhui,and Qinghai stayed at the bottom.In contrast,the ranking of the coupled coordination efficiency of Inner Mongolia,Henan,and Jiangsu displayed a great change.(4)The spatial correlation analysis revealed a positive correlation that decreased annually.Some provinces exhibited characteristics of spatial aggregation,with a high-high aggregation effect in Liaoning and Jilin,a low-low aggregation effect in Gansu and Qinghai,and no spatial aggregation effect in most other provinces.

文摘Urban Green Spaces(UGSs)can provide social and ecological benefits,and the coordination of these two functions will largely advance human-nature harmony in cities.As such,we proposed a comprehensive framework to evaluate UGSs multifunctionality,i.e.the coupling coordination relationship of ecological connectivity and spatial accessibility of UGSs.Wuhan City in Central China was taken as a case study,and multiple ecosystem service values of green space patches and the disordered use of UGSs multifunctionality were explored.The results demonstrated low-level coupling coordination of UGSs multifunctionality in Wuhan.More than 70%of UGSs were imbalanced,27.91%of which featured small sizes,low connectivity and accessibility.We suggest that planners should optimize UGSs arrangement to improve species reachability,especially for species with dispersal distance less than 4 km,and to create 15-minute community life circles for residents at the same time.Our findings are expected to support the promotion of UGSs multifunctionality and the balance of urban development and habitat conservation.

文摘Studying the coupling coordination development of new energy vehicles(NEVs)and the ecological environment in China is helpful in promoting the development of NEVs in the country and is of great significance in promoting high-quality development of new energy in China.This paper constructs an evaluation index system for the development of NEVs and the ecological environment.It uses game theory combining weighting model,particle swarm optimized projection tracking evaluation model,coupling coordination degree model,and machine learning algorithms to calculate and analyze the level of coupling coordination development of NEVs and the ecological environment in China from 2010 to 2021,and identifies the driving factors.The research results show that:(i)From 2010 to 2021,the development index of NEVs in China has steadily increased from 0.085 to 0.634,while the ecological environment level index significantly rose from 0.170 to 0.884,reflecting the continuous development of China in both NEVs and the ecological environment.(ii)From 2010 to 2012,the two systems—new energy vehicle(NEV)development and the ecological environment—were in a period of imbalance and decline.From 2013 to 2016,they underwent a transition period,and from 2017 to 2021,they entered a period of coordinated development showing a trend of benign and continuous improvement.By 2021,they reached a good level of coordination.(iii)Indicators such as the number of patents granted for NEVs,water consumption per unit of GDP,and energy consumption per unit of GDP are the main driving factors affecting the coupling coordination development of NEVs and the ecological environment in China.

文摘Dryland regions face complex interactions between urbanization and ecological changes,where effective coordination is essential for enhancing sustainability and resilience.However,most studies concentrate on the national or provincial scales,with insufficient research on county-level coordination,limiting the ability to provide targeted polifrom a precise perspective.This study addresses this gap by analyzing 39 counties within the Hohhot-Baotou-Ordos-Yulin Urban Agglomeration(HBOYUA),a typical dryland urban cluster in China.We use daytime and nighttime remote sensing images to track the spatio-temporal evolution of urbanization and ecological conditions from 1992 to 2023.A novel quantitative framework based on an improved coupling coordination degree(CCD)is proposed to assess their coordination relationship.The results reveal that:(1)Urbanization and ecological quality both exhibited fluctuating upward trends,with spatial heterogeneity increasing for urbanization and decreasing for the eco-environment.Regions with better ecological conditions had higher urbanization levels.(2)The overall coordinated level improved from imbalance(0.36)to low-level coordination(0.55),although its spatial distribution remained uneven,with central urban areas showing higher CCD than surrounding counties.(3)Socioeconomic factors exerted greater effects on CCD than natural factors,with GDP and land surface temperature(LST)playing a significant role in interaction analysis.(4)In western arid regions,urbanization did not necessarily harm ecosystems;instead,ecological conditions improved alongside urbanization.This research offers targeted and valuable references for county and city governments in resource allocation and sustainable development.The proposed methodology is also adaptable for urban resilience studies in other regions.

文摘The Taihang Mountains in North China are an important carbon-water ecosystem service supply area.Understanding the coupling effect and influencing mechanisms of mountain carbon sequestration as well as water conservation is essential for regional eco-logical restoration and sustainable development.In this study,we utilized models such as the coupled coordination degree model,the random forest and Geodetector to analyze the spa-tio-temporal changes as well as driving factors of carbon sequestration-water conservation coupling coordination in the Taihang Mountains.The results show that:(1)From 1990 to 2020,the carbon sequestration and water conservation capacity of the Taihang Mountains exhibited a spatial pattern with higher values in the southeast and central regions,while lower values in the northwest region.(2)The average coupling coordination degree from 1990 to 2020 was O.23,which was overall low,with a fluctuating decreasing-rising-decreasing trend over time.The coupling coordination degree exhibited a pattern that is high in the middle and low in the periphery,with a fluctuating distribution that initially decreases and then increases with the increasing altitude.The overall trend of coupling coordination is degradation,with concen-trated degradation in the northwest mountainous regions.(3)Precipitation and soil texture were identified as the main driving factors influencing coupling coordination,with the interac-tion between precipitation and soil sand content showing the strongest explanatory power,while that among topography,vegetation and human activities had relatively low explanatory power.Therefore,enhanced protection and the continuous monitoring of vegetation and soil environments in the Taihang Mountains are essential,with particular emphasis on ecological restoration in areas experiencing a persistent degradation of carbon-water coupling.This study can provide assistance in monitoring and managing carbon sink and water resources in the mountains,meanwhile mitigating potential adverse impacts on human well-being.

文摘Studying the spatiotemporal distribution characteristics and coupling coordination relationship of urban and rural resilience is of substantial theoretical and practical significance to improving the ability of urban and rural areas to resist risk and for promoting their coordinated development.This study establishes a comprehensive evaluation index system of urban and rural resilience that encom-passes industrial,social,and ecological subsystems as well as stability,sensitivity,and adaptability.For each of the prefecture-level city in Northeast China,we evaluated its urban and rural resilience and determined the coupling coordination level between them using data spanning 2010,2015,and 2020.The resilience levels of both urban and rural areas in Northeast China are continuously improving.The high-value area of urban resilience is mainly located in the central cities of Northeast China,and prominent in urban agglomeration areas,while rural resilience is predominantly high in the north and low in the south.The high-value area of the coupling coordination degree is mainly distributed in the arc-shaped zone extending from south to north in the eastern part of Northeast China,with the level of coupling coordination increased overall.Non-parametric testing revealed significant differences in urban industrial stability,urban in-dustrial adaptability,rural industrial stability,rural social adaptability,and rural ecological stability among types of cities differing in their coupling coordination development.Our findings provide a reference for enhancing urban and rural resilience and their coordin-ated development path in Northeast China.

文摘Exploring optimal operational schemes for synergistic development is crucial for sustainable management in river basins.This study introduces a multi-objective synergistic optimization framework aimed at analyzing the interplay among flood control,ecological integrity,and desilting objectives under varying watersediment conditions.The framework encompasses multi-objective reservoir optimal operation,scheme decision,and trade-off analysis among competing objectives.To address the optimization model,an elite mutation-based multiobjective particle swarm optimization(MOPSO)algorithm that integrates genetic algorithms(GA)is developed.The coupling coordination degree is employed for optimal scheme decision-making,allowing for the adjustment of weight ratios to investigate the trade-offs between objectives.This research focuses on the Sanmenxia and Xiaolangdi cascade reservoirs in the Yellow River,utilizing three representative hydrological years:1967,1969,and 2002.The findings reveal that:(1)the proposed model effectively generates Pareto fronts for multi-objective operations,facilitating the recommendation of optimal schemes based on coupling coordination degrees;(2)as water-sediment conditions shift from flooding to drought,competition intensifies between the flood control and desilting objectives.While flood control and ecological objectives compete during flood and dry years,they demonstrate synergies in normal years(r=0.22);conversely,ecological and desilting objectives are consistently competitive across all three typical years,with the strongest competition observed in the normal year(r=-0.95);(3)the advantages conferred to ecological objectives increase as water-sediment conditions shift from flooding to drought.However,the promotion of the desilting objective requires more complex trade-offs.This study provides a model and methodological approach for the multi-objective optimization of flood control,sediment management,and ecological considerations in reservoir clusters.Moreover,the methodologies presented herein can be extended to other water resource systems for multi-objective optimization and decision-making.

文摘Rural resilience,a core capability for addressing systemic risks and enabling sustainable development,is increasingly vital to promoting urban-rural integrated development and rural revitalization strategies.However,current research lacks exploration of the collaborative mechanisms between rural economic resilience(RER)and rural social resilience(RSR)in ecologically vulnerable areas.Based on the practical context of rural sustainable development in such regions,this study investigates the interaction between RER and RSR from a resilience coordination perspective.In this paper,a rural resilience evaluation framework for collaborative development of economic and social resilience was established.By employing the coupling coordination degree model,obstacle degree model,and equilibrium entropy model,this paper examines the synergies,constraints,and potential of rural resilience subsystems in Jinchang City,Gansu Province,China,in 2020.The results reveal that:1)RER contributes to RSR by stabilizing the economy,enhancing community adaptability,and driving modernization.In turn,RSR strengthens RER by mitigating instability,building social capital,and fostering confidence—together forming a mutually reinforcing coupling mechanism.2)The rural economic and social resilience level in Jinchang City remains generally low with spatially clustered patterns,while the coupling coordination degree is at an intermediate level overall,with 62.59%of villages exhibiting unbalanced development between rural economic and social resilience.3)RER and RSR demonstrate synergistic degradation in ecologically vulnerable areas,where low-level rural economic and social resilience induce integrated systemic deterioration.4)Considering the unbalanced development of rural economic and social resilience in ecologically fragile areas,differentiated coordination pathways are proposed for three village typologies:RER-lagging villages,RSR-lagging villages,and villages where RER and RSR develop synchronously but lack effective coordination.These findings offer spatial governance strategies and practical guidance for enhancing rural resilience and advancing sustainable development in ecologically vulnerable regions.

文摘Quantitatively assessing the carrying capacity of water and land resources systems in arid and semi-arid areas is crucial for achieving the 2030 Sustainable Development Goals.In this work,taking Yulin City in China as a case study and employing the Criteria Importance Through Intercriteria Correlation(CRITIC)method,a modified model of coupling degree was developed to evaluate the car-rying capacity of water and land resources systems endowment and utilization,as well as their coupling coordination degree from 2013 to 2020.Our findings indicate that the water and land resources of Yulin are diminishing due to declines in agriculture,higher industrial water use,and wetland shrinkage.However,reallocating domestic water for ecological sustainability and reducing sloping farmland can mitigate this trend of decline.Temporally,as the coupling coordination between water and land resources system endowment in Yulin continuously improved,the coupling coordination between water and land resources system utilization first decreased and then in-creased with 2016 as the turning point.Spatially,the carrying capacity of water and land resources systems,the coupling coordination degree between water and land resources system endowment,and the coupling coordination degree between water and land resources system utilization in Yulin exhibited the same pattern of being higher in the six northern counties than in the six southern counties.Improving the water resources endowment is vital for the highly efficient use of water and land resources.

文摘One of the greatest challenges in the agroecosystem is to improve cropland intensification while preserving agroecosystem services.While many studies have investigated the effect of cropland intensification on agroecosystem service,the interactive coupling and coordination among these factors remain largely unexplored.In view of this,this study performed a case study of the Loess Plateau in Shaanxi Province,China and constructed comprehensive evaluation models to quantify the cropland intensification and agroecosystem service in this area.Balance analysis and the coupling coordination degree model were used to evaluate the interactive relationship between cropland intensification and agroecosystem service,and statistical analysis and spatial autocorrelation were used to analyze the spatial characteristics and potential mechanism of the coupling coordination.Results show that both the cropland intensification and agroecosystem service in the study area were relatively low yet gradually increased from 2000 to 2020.Agroecosystem service lag was identified as the dominant unbalanced development type.Improving the supply capacity of agroecosystem services plays a key role in the balanced development of cropland in the Loess Plateau.The coupling coordination degree between cropland intensification and agroecosystem service ranges from basic coordination to serious incoordination.Therefore,cropland intensification practices in the area should be optimized to enhance this coordination degree.An upward trend was also observed in the coupling coordination degree from2000 to 2020.The withdrawal of marginal cropland in the Grain for Green program is one of the most important reasons for this trend,especially for the northern region.Around 83.6%of the high-high clusters are concentrated in the southern region of the Loess Plateau,whereas 70.5%of the low-low clusters are distributed in the northern region.These clustering characteristics are mainly attributed to the environmental suitability of these areas for agriculture and their degree of economic development.

文摘In China,the Innovation Demonstration Zone for the National Sustainable Development Agenda is a key initiative for executing the United Nations(UN)2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development.The Zone also plays critical roles in addressing the developmental bottlenecks that China faces and sharing Chinese insights into global sustainable development efforts.On July 15,2022,the State Council endorsed the Zone’s establishment in Zaozhuang City,Shandong Province,where it focuses on innovation-led sustainable development in rural areas.Research into the levels,impediments,interdependencies,and evolutionary trends of rural sustainable development is crucial.Therefore,this research aimed to assist in comprehensively assessing developmental challenges and facilitating the harmonious advancement of social,economic,and environmental aspects in rural areas.In pursuit of the three fundamental dimensions of the UN’s Sustainable Development Goals(SDGs),namely development’s drivers,quality,and equity,this study was grounded in China’s national Rural Revitalization Strategy and the demands of sustainable development strategies.It also aligns with the UN 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development and the associated SDG indicators.Focusing on four key areas,namely production elements,natural elements,social elements,and rural governance,this study developed an evaluation index system for assessing the level of rural sustainable development.It employed a range of analytical models,including the game theory-based combination empowerment method,barrier degree model,coupling degree model,coupling coordination degree model,and gray prediction GM(1,1)model,to analyze the status and evolving trends of rural sustainable development in Zaozhuang City from 2015 to 2022.The key findings were as follows:①Relative to the baseline year 2015,the sustainable development level in Zaozhuang’s rural areas has shifted toward an improved state overall.②The primary barrier to achieving rural sustainable development in Zaozhuang is the city’s rural governance system.③While the components of rural sustainable development in Zaozhuang are in the early stages of both basic and moderate coordination,an overall enhancement has occurred in their integrative coordination.④Between 2023 and 2025,the level of integrative coordination in Zaozhuang is expected to rise steadily.However,reaching a state of advanced coordination will require additional time for development.

文摘Taking the pilgrimage,tourism and cultural island of Meizhou Island as an example,the evaluation index system of the coupling and coordinated development of“Mazu culture,socio-economy,eco-environment”(MSE)compound system was constructed.The index weights were determined by AHP-entropy method,and the coupling degree,coordinated degree,comprehensive evaluation index and grey correlation degree of MSE system of Mazu Island from 2012 to 2022 were measure.The results showed that:(1)the comprehensive evaluation indexes of the three subsystems was on the rise in general,but the evaluation index of the ecological subsystems increased relatively slowly.(2)The coupling degree was only in the running-in stage in 2012,and the other years were in the coordinated coupling stage.(3)The coupling coordination degree increased from 0.35 in 2012 to 0.82 in 2022,the coupling coordination level was changed from mild imbalance to good coordination.(4)Through the comparison of grey correlation degree,the 24 indexes in the evaluation index system had great influence on the coupling coordination degree of MSE system.The coupling coordination degree was closely related to the development of socio-economy and the spread of Mazu culture.With the rapid development of tourism brought about by the spread of Mazu culture,the pressure on the ecological environment will be increasing.Compared with the rapid growth of tourism and economy,it is equally important to strengthen environmental protection and pay attention to the quality of ecological environment development.

文摘Promoting the coupling coordination development of port and its hinterland city environments is an important way to improve urban economic competitiveness.Based on relevant data of 13 coastal port cities in eastern China from 2000 to 2018,this study explores the coupling coordination development of port and city environments and its impact on urban economic competitiveness by constructing the coupling coordination degree model and the panel threshold model.The research results show that:(1)In terms of the coupling coordination development of port and city environments,most coastal ports and their hinterland cities are in a state of moderate or serious disorder.Overall,the degree of coupling coordination of port and city environments needs to be further improved;(2)The coupling coordination degree of port and city environments has a significant impact on urban economic competitiveness,and this effect gradually increases with the development of the ports and the urban economy.Among the variables that impact the urban economic competitiveness,fixed assets investment and foreign trade are significant factors that can enhance urban economic competitiveness.(3)At present,there is a“U-shaped”relationship between the coupling coordination degree of port-city environments and the urban economic competitiveness.This relationship lies on the right side of the inflection point of the“U-shaped”curve.Therefore,following the concept of assigning priority to ecological development,expanding fixed assets investment and actively developing foreign trade can further enhance the urban economic competitiveness.

文摘Based on a total of 16 indicators selected from the tourism and transport industries,an evaluation index system of the coupling and coordination development level of tourism and transport is constructed.The entropy value method and the coupling coordination degree model are used to conduct an empirical study on the development level and coupling coordination level of the transport and tourism industries in Chengdu City from 2011 to 2020.The results show that,on the whole,the coupling coordination degree of transport and tourism in Chengdu is poor and has been in a state of mild to moderate dysfunction.The development level of tourism lagged behind the development of transport from 2011 to 2012,and the two were in a state of mild dysfunction.However,from 2013 onwards,the development level of tourism was prioritized over the development level of transport.This shift caused the coupling coordination degree of the two industries to decline sharply to 0.23305 in 2013.The development level of the tourism industry increased again,reaching 0.34206 in 2019,which marked an improvement.Consequently,the coordination degree of the transport and tourism industries evolved from moderate dislocation to mild dislocation.Finally,the results of the empirical research are analyzed,and corresponding suggestions are put forward to promote the sustainable growth of the transport and tourism industries in Chengdu City.These suggestions aim to improve the coupled and coordinated development level of the two industries.

文摘By examining the current status of tourism and transport research both domestically and internationally,and analyzing the development trends of Chongqing’s tourism and transport industry,this study evaluates the weight indices and performs a coupling and coordination analysis of various indicators of Chongqing’s tourism and transport industry from 2011 to 2019.The following conclusions are drawn:(1)The value of the comprehensive evaluation function for tourism is higher than that of the transport industry,indicating that Chongqing’s tourism industry is in a period of vigorous development;(2)The degree of coupling coordination development between Chongqing’s tourism and transportation industries from 2011 to 2019 is rising.As the coupling coordination stage continues to improve,the level of coupling coordination also improves,with the overall trend showing a progression from mild dysfunction to primary coordination.Based on these conclusions,corresponding countermeasures are proposed to promote the coupling coordination between tourism and transport in Chongqing,and suggestions are made for the overall improvement of the transport industry and the sustainable development of the tourism industry.

文摘This study investigates the coordination between regional economic growth and ecological sustainability within the context of high-quality town economy development.To address the challenges of balancing economic expansion with environmental protection,a comprehensive evaluation index system is constructed,encompassing two key dimensions:regional economy and ecological environment.Using panel data from 2013 to 2022,the coupling coordination degree model is employed to quantify the interactions and synergy between these dimensions.Additionally,spatial econometric methods are applied to calculate both global and local Moran’s Index,revealing spatial clustering patterns,regional disparities,and heterogeneity.The relative development model further identifies critical factors influencing regional coordination,with a focus on the lagging development of basic infrastructure and public services.The findings demonstrate a positive temporal trend toward improved regional coordination and reduced development gaps,with a spatial pattern characterized by higher coupling degrees in eastern and central regions compared to western areas.Based on these results,this study proposes actionable strategies to enhance coordinated development,emphasizing ecological conservation,the establishment of green production and consumption systems,ecological restoration,and strengthened municipal collaboration.This revised abstract emphasizes the study’s purpose,methods,and key findings more clearly while maintaining a professional and concise tone.Finally,based on the above analysis results,the corresponding coordinated development suggestions of regional economy and ecological environment are given from the aspects of ecological environment protection measures,green production and consumption system construction,ecological environment restoration and municipal coordination.

文摘The Sustainable Development Goals(SDGs)are crucial in tackling the sustainability challenges and emerging issues faced by humanity,with government attention being a significant factor in promoting their successful achievement.However,there is limited quantitative research systematically examining the impacts of government attention on SDGs progress.This study employs text analysis and a panel regression model to analyze the impacts of government attention intensity,text similarity,and tone on the achievement of SDGs,utilizing data extracted from China’s Government Work Reports spanning the decade from 2010 to 2020.The findings reveal that the Chinese government attention to the SDGs has generally increased over time.The heightened focus has notably bolstered the achievement of the SDGs,with the most significant impact observed post-2015.Government attention intensity was identified as the most impactful factor.Moreover,government attention intensity,text similarity,and tone have positively influenced the coupling coordination relationship between 17 SDGs,as measured by the coupling coordination degree,leading to a more harmonious and balanced achievement of socioeconomic and environmental goals in China.Financial investment served as a moderating factor,enhancing the positive impacts of attention intensity,text similarity and tone on the promotion of SDGs attainment.The effects of government attention on SDGs progress were notably positive in the eastern region,exhibiting greater significance in areas with stronger governance capacity compared to those with weaker governance capacity.This study provides insightful information for enhancing the modernization and efficiency of China’s national governance system,promoting SDGs at local and global scales,and fostering sustainable transformation.

文摘The exploration of the coupling and coordination between urban innovation capability(IC)and industrial transformation(IF)serves as a novel perspective for interpreting the increasingly severe phenomenon of population shrinkage during the industrialization process.This study investigated the evolutionary characteristics of IC and IF in shrinking and growing cities in Northeast China from 2010 to 2020.It uses entropy weighted model,coupling coordination degree,the Dagum Gini coefficient,and geographic detectors to analyze the coordinated development of IC and IF in the context of population shrinkage.The study analyzed the spatiotemporal patterns and driving mechanisms for their coordinated development.The results show that:1)both urban IC and IF exhibited an overall positive trend during the study period.Shrinking cities depend more on IF to address the challenges of population shrinkage,while growing cities mainly rely on innovation-driven development.2)The coupling gap between IC and IF in shrinking and growing cities has widened over time,with the coordination level of shrinking cities steadily decreasing.Cities with serious disorder are concentrated in northern Heilongjiang Province,while most cities in Jilin Province experience moderate disorder.Liaoning Province,however,shows generally good coupling coordination.3)Human capital is the key factor driving coupling coordination in both types of cities.Shrinking cities rely on economic and financial development,with the‘repair-type’logic that emphasizes short-term economic growth and resource compensation.In contrast,the coupling of growing cities relies on basic support capabilities,with the‘optimization-type’logic focused on enhancing endogenous resilience and systemic coordination.Exploring the coordination between urban innovation capabilities and industrial transformation can provide a new perspective for research on population shrinkage,which holds certain theoretical and practical significance for implementing the new round of revitalization strategy in Northeast China.
